I'm most famous as being employee number 8 of #SunMicrosystems, and I got to work with the Bell Labs #UNIX team for a summer during the birth of V7 #UNIX.

My Silicon Valley career started with #Amdahl in 1978, followed by Sun for 12 years. I've since founded 4 startups (see profile).

I toot about #ComputerHistory; I've been there for much of it.
